Creamy Parmesan Italian Sausage Soup

Ingredients:

1 pound Italian sausage, casing removed

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 small onion, chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

4 cups chicken broth

1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

2 cups baby spinach

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add Italian sausage and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon. Remove excess fat if necessary.

Add chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot, and cook until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Pour in the chicken broth and diced tomatoes, and bring to a simmer.

Stir in heavy cream, grated Parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning. Simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Add baby spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes.

Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Notes:

For a thicker soup, add a tablespoon of cornstarch mixed with a tablespoon of water.

Serve with crusty bread or garlic bread for a comforting meal.
